Chlorine must be rinsed, but it has been demonstrated over and over that in
the recommended concentrations, neither Iodophor nor Star San require
rinsing. Iodophor should be very well drained, but Star San, you can leave
some foam behind. It is completely undetectable. Or is it that
dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid has too many syllables for you to consider it
safe to ingest? ;-)
